What To Expect
Simonetta introduces you to her kitchen, full of books, spices, jars full of dried fruit and recipes.
Her cooking courses are a full immersion in her lifestyle, a mix of food and culture, but also of practicality. Learn to make dishes which you can easily reproduce at your home, and you will amaze yourselves by creating ravioli, tagliatelle and pizza, in a vegetarian o vegan style.
She will teach you the simple but important tricks of everyday cooking, such as how to substitute an ingredient at the last moment, but what really counts is to have a passion for food.
You will start by preparing the dough for the pizza and then, during cooking, you will prepare tagliatelle and ravioli. The sauces will be the simplest but the most delicious sauces of Mediterranean cuisine.

Wonderful host. Great food experience with an outstanding facility. Food, wine, pizza, pasta for all. Highly recommend.

The cooking class was not as advertised. Not as the picture advertised. Only one person taught the class. The location was not clear on your website. There was no bus to pick us up. The location of the class was way out of the way and so hard to find that 4 people could not even find the place. Only three of us showed up. We took taxis to get there and back at a cost of $60. The web site advertised wine and beverages would be served. They were not even offered. A disappointment all around.
